I like a good skewering of Hollywood, at least when it’s done well — Bowfinger, State and Main, Living in Oblivion, The Player, HBO’s Entourage, or even the late lamented TV series Action!. Filmmaker Jake Kasdan has his own indie satire in the works called The TV Set, pulling back the curtain on the process of making … Continue reading

The arrival of The Muppet Show on DVD is a monumental event for some of you folks, and I can only imagine that the Muppets Wizard of Oz is like a warm blanket from the past but stiched with vibrant new patches (and Quentin Tarantino, something that makes this DVD as much a curious impulse … Continue reading

Granted, there are probably two or three titles (out of the many) that might pique your interest as you scroll downward, but title after title continues to roll out, unabated by your paycheck or even your bankruptcy filing. … Continue reading

The NC-17 was created to be an alternative to the X rating, which the MPAA lamely never copyrighted, and which soon came … Continue reading
